You really really should be listening to Sarah Silverman’s podcast. My name is actually Andy Warhore
I had to change my online name because youtube “suggested” I can’t have hore inside my name, and it got me thinking, maybe there’s someone whos name is something somethinghore and Youtube censors it, it’s really stupid.
But Ok, it took 3 days, I think, to listen to 18 episodes of the Sarah Silverman podcast and it’s not just fun, it’s so lovely that I cried a couple of times. I’m really bad at reviews cause my working memory it’s awful. But I’ll do what I can and that’s enough for me, and finally I don’t think anyone’s reading. I don’t even remember my twitter password so I can’t even tag her to tell her “hey I really enjoyed your podcast and I loved it, so I wrote this weird review”
I will start (Again?) by talking about how the episodes close, I don’t remember when but it was early like on episode 4 maybe, she talks about how her father told her that the ending was somehow abrupt and since then she never forget to make a really passive-aggressive but quirky and lovely goodbye to her father, I mean, that’s just lovely.
I don’t know why she is trying to curse less, I’m on the same path and I think is annoying to suppress al those “fuck this, fucking that” because I think we have been managing to reach a lot of fucking progress on inclusivity and raising awareness on racism, LGBTphobia and all that stuff, but we are so aware of some things, that is very difficult to just be perfect, you know how we are really trying to be perfect, right?
But I think we are really far from that point and Sarah it’s just, like a really fresh and intelligent take on everything that is happening with the left and the so called woke community. She mentions something about how you can’t call yourself edgy, well you can call yourself whatever you want but it’s just really weird if you do so, and I think it applies the same rule to be woke, you don’t call yourself woke cause, I mean, no one really is, it’s subjective. But I love that she takes that responsibility with greatness, really, cause she is open to discuss all her mistakes and not run from them. it’s really inspiring, I am a comedian somehow, I don’t do live shows or anything really, and I think its sad, but what I do is comedy, I think… not this “blog?” but every other thing I do.
A thing I’m noticing, it’s actually a path, most comedians I admire display a lot of ADHD behaviors and Sarah is not the exception, sometimes she reacts really strong(ly?) to noises and she is bothered by the sounds from dry mouths, and it’s hillarious, but the way she talks about her vivid dreams and her not really vivid imagination, among a bunch of stuff, make me think she might be on the spectrum (is it a spectrum?)
Well, lately I’ve been founding a lot of nice material to listen to, but this was really refreshing cause she is just honest but she is not a jerk. I think that’s that. The way to describe the show would be “Totally honest, but not being a jerk”
She is clearly open to repair ( I think my english is just poor and insufficient to describe what I want to say) repair or amend or whatever it is she does acknowledging her mistakes and support other people, and spread love, what kind of angel is she? Because, let’s be honest here, I have a similar philosophy and I even feel like I know a lot stuff that she doesn’t (like I mean every one knows different things, not really trying to compete, but when she talks about transgender people and that stuff I feel like a pro haha that’s a shitty example) but I think i lack the confidence or whatever that is, to actually fill things around me with love, and she just goes there, to spread the love, to point out what’s wrong with some attitudes and she is really funny.
Well I think I can’t go any deeper, I enjoy how she involves people and the whole thing feels really natural and fun for everyone, I just skimmed the episode where some other people were there cause they had a kind of protective, weird attitude, no problem with them at all but it felt different enough to skip some stuff, but, even that episode is fun.
This is the worst review ever, I haven’t even mention how the podcast works, but I just remembered that the first episodes opened with her trying to get the perfect song for the podcast and it just happened, that inspired me to write a song for my youtubechannel, and I don’t think I’m going to post anything soon cause I lost my camera like 10 years ago and I’ve been poor ever since, and oh my god, so many tragedies.
So the thing is that she takes calls or actually voice mails from fans (or maybe not fans, but followers, cause, whothefuck actually calls themselves “fan” anymore) and she listens to them, disrespects them a bit and trolls them sometimes a lot, depending on how they sound (that sounds awful but it’s actually not) and she talks about whatever comes to her mind from the voice mail. And sometimes it just goes to her childhood or her family and that’s of course cute and amazing but also so relatable, cause, I mean I just found out that my great grand mother was Jewish so I don’t really relate to the Jewish part, and I have never been in New Hampshire or wherever she is from (I think it is New Hampshire, she mentions it at least once every episode but, yes, I mentioned my poor working memory that’s not just awful but sometimes it’s rude) well whatever, it’s fun and it makes you think and also it’s kind of repetitive about some stuff but that just shows how honest she is and her thinking process which is cool cause it’s like listening to your own thinking but cooler.
Really I think I have nothing else to say, but I’m trying to get somewhere near to a conclusion. It should be something like, I find that podcast really inspiring and lovely and I see so much growth, not just hers, but I think it’s a reflection on how a lot of people are trying to be better people and trying to be involved on the things that not just matter the must but also focusing on building an environment of peace and understanding our differences. Fuck me, I can’t write in english, but I tried. so, if anyone is reading this for whatever reason, go and listen to the whole thing, right now it’s just like 18 episodes and one of them has more people in it and it’s weird but it’s just the one episode with people she likes, and so it’s not that bad. But all the other ones are amazing (I’m kidding, I think I should even rewatch review, relisten? to that episode, I’m sure I missed some freaking wisdom there (maybe not, but if I don’t do it how I’m supposed to know).
Well I don’t have anything to add, but I can’t stop writting, I suppose I will go and write some more stuff somewhere else.

I wanted to show my roommate a single clip from her singing the law and order intro but I didn’t find it and now I’m not sure it happened.

On a side note that I don’ wan’t to place anywhere else. I like peanut butter now, I never even tried it before.
